Cara the Peacock Lady!

It was several weeks ago that Cara got in touch with me and said she wanted to hire me to do a peacock theme for a gorgeous new headshot. I definitely liked the idea, so I thought about lots of lovely ways to create the look for her. We really wanted to incorporate some feathers in there, but how to make it all pull together?

I put Cara's large soft eyes as the focal point, and used layers of royal blue, green and the tiniest hint of yellow. Using the blackest eyeliner, I carved a beautiful shape around her eyes to give her an animal feel. With glowing skin, her lips stayed a soft nude so as not to detract from her eyes, and then I swept her hair back into a high bang with some texture. We tried several different poses and angles and these struck me the most. Each so different, with different emotions. Beautiful job Cara! And as always, iBeauty really captured each shot!
